Huh? According to the Kohl's website, they have 215 styles of Skecher shoes, but the highest price listed is $90.

Try the Bealls' outlet store in Colony Plaza. You might find something that appeals to you for less money.

If true, that is one heck of an expensive label/logo. As an aside, only $125 sketchers I have seen are at full list price. Very few sold at listed price.

I ordered my husband some shoes from Orthofeet.com
Every time he puts them on he tells me how much he loves them. The ones I got him have zippers in the back so he doesn't have to tie them.
They come with 4 different ortho inserts to choose from.
Lots of choices in style and fit.

This may not be what you're looking for but my go to, every day shoe is actually a sandal from Birkenstock. I wear them everywhere, I don't even care that it's 38° out right now, lol. Whenever I put anything else on they feel totally inferior. I wear socks with them too and I like them so much I don't care what anybody thinks about that, lol. They are relatively common at stores that sell only shoes. A little pricey though at about $130

I second Sketchers. Was able to get a very comfortable slip on shoe.

Note that there is no "t" in Skechers.

Note that the highest list price for a pair of Skecher shoes on Kohl's website is $90. That is before any of the numerous Kohl's discounts.

Wife loves her Sketchers. The issue with them is that Sketchers do not seem to have the durability compared to New Balance, Brooks or Hoka that I wear. Yes, I know you will pay just a little bit more for those big 3 but with that comes the comfort and much better value overall.

Last year I bought a pair of New Balance walking shoes. The soles were so thin that they hurt the bottom of my feet when walking on asphalt. It was lucky that I bought them from Amazon so I could return them. The New Balance customer service was terrible, and apparently, they have no return policy.

Zero Gravity and Hoka are the way to go.

I got my Brooks from The Good Feet Store in Spanish Springs area on Bichara Blvd
